Braves hold on to beat Nationals
WASHINGTON - John Smoltz moved within one strikeout of Cy Young and within five wins of 200, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 6-4 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. Smoltz (2-1) didn't allow an earned run until the seventh inning, Chipper Jones homered, and Kelly Johnson had a career-high four hits. The Braves made three errors, two by shortstop Edgar Renteria, and squandered most of a four-run lead but held on against the Nationals, who wore Virginia Tech baseball caps as a tribute to the victims of Monday's shooting rampage at the school.
